“You know, they ask me questions. Just an example: “What do you wear to bed? A pajama top? The bottoms of the pajamas? A nightgown?” So I said, Chanel n°5, because it’s the truth… And yet, I don’t want to say nude. But it’s the truth!”  — Marilyn Monroe to Georges Belmont for Marie Claire magazine, 1960.
